ISPEC SITE STATUS UPDATE: "...Ask your hosting company to give you the logs for the last few days. You might be able to figure out easily enough if it is an attack or a number of legit hits." Well, we have gotten to the bottom of the problem. After three days of monitoring, we have all the evidence and data in, and it turns out that the site has been subject to continual Denial Of Service attacks since Monday. This means that we need to invest in some expensive, heavy duty hardware and software solutions, and it's too bad, since the free site is a resource for all. I guess someone wants to put the site out of business, but with user support as we have experienced with our new subscription services, I believe we will be able to move on and grow from here. Teresa
